Old vehicles have begun coming back in the past years. Television shows like MTV’s “Pimp My Ride” is one of the concrete manifestations that the old—with twist and turns here and there—can come back with a new look.  Car enthusiasts have been keeping an eye on that show.  Soon enough, another of that kind will spring in national television.  The show, working with NASCAR, serves to donate time and labor to deserving individuals in need of help to improve on their rides. 

Deborah Davey, a Californian woman lost her husband last 2005.  She spends her summers on Blakely Island and donates emergency medical care to the residents of the said island every summer.  What she uses to help out and transport the medical stuff she provides is her Land Rover, which unfortunately began to show signs of breaking down.  Because of her kindness, NASCAR approached Jason Hunt, the manager of Precision Collision, and asked him to help out restore Davey’s Land Rover.

According to Jason Hunt, “Basically, when we heard this lady’s story, we wanted to do it.” Davey’s Land Rover was then sent to a Mount Vernon technician for the necessary repairs and Land Rover parts replacement.  Some Land Rover tune up parts were also added on afterwards.  As a result, the Rover was in good shape to be presented to Davey again on Blakely Island.

Even though the crew from “NASCAR Angels” came to Kitsap, the show doesn’t. The closest television station to air the syndicated show is KIMA in Yakima, a CBS affiliate, where it can be seen at 4 p.m. on Sundays.
